How do you cope with being surrounded by people who vote time and again for the likes of Bawney Fwank, the Kennedy’s and Kerry?
I have as little as possible to do with them. And that includes relatives.
Also, I don’t discuss politics with them, unless they start. If it’s respectful (mostly older folks, FDR fans), I’m respectful back. If it’s a typical “Occupy/Occupy wannabe” idiot, I give it right back.
I have to say, I don’t hear much chirping these days.
